2 News Pieces on Crooked FBI

Compiled by John R. Houk

October 2, 2016

After Rep.
Trey Gowdy questioned Jason Herring FBI Assistant Director of Legislative
Affairs about the uncooperativeness the FBI has been in releasing investigative
data pertaining to Crooked Hillary’s illegal use of a private email server that
passed on classified messages. The deflective answers by Mr. Herring
demonstrates the collusion of the Obama Administration to keep Crooked Hillary
away from criminal prosecution.

The FBI
thinks they can hide the truth about their investigation of Hillary Clinton’s
private email server from the American people.

The Bureau
does not believe it needs to share the mechanics of how they conducted their
investigation with Congress.

But Trey
Gowdy was having none of it.

The House
Oversight Committee has been in a fight with the FBI since the Bureau has
refused to turn over all relevant information to the Committee.

Jason
Herring, the FBI’s Assistant Director of Legislative Affairs, appeared before
the Committee and wasn’t as forthcoming as some would have liked.

Gowdy
reacted just as you would expect him to.

RedState reports:

But that wasn’t all Trey Gowdy did
during the recent hearing. When Jason Herring, the FBI’s acting Assistant
Director of Legislative Affairs, was being a bit dodgy with information
requested by Congress, Gowdy was not having it.

Gowdy was after a document called a
302, which is essentially a summary of interviews of key witnesses. The FBI
wasn’t giving those to Congress, and instead was getting a “summary of a
summary of an interview” instead. This is something the Committee, and Gowdy in
particular, was not pleased with. This, especially, with Herring telling Gowdy
that he had been provided with all the relevant information, and the rest of it
would come out through the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request.

“I think we’ve given the relevant
ones-” started Herring.

“Relevant according to whom? I’m
telling you, I don’t think you’ve given me all the relevant 302s!” said Gowdy.

“Well, the remainder of the 302s
will come out through the FOIA process,” returned Herring.

“But since when did Congress have to
go through FOIA to obtain 302s from an investigation that’s not even resulting
in any prosecutions that your boss has already said was over? Since when did we
have to go through FOIA?” Gowdy fired back.

At that point, Gowdy was out of
time, but before he relinquished his spotlight, he reminded the FBI agent of
how things really are.

“With all due respect, you don’t get
to decide what we think is relevant.” said Gowdy.

Suspicions were raised when the FBI handed
out five grants of immunity to Hillary’s underlings – including former Chief of
Staff Cheryl Mills, who was the mastermind behind the private server.

Many wondered why immunity was given to so
many people and no charges were filed.

Gowdy echoed those concerns in the hearing
preview on Fox News.

survive a justice system that people do not have confidence in.”

Gowdy continued to press the issue during
the hearing.

Politico reports:

“GOP lawmakers focused in particular
on the Justice Department’s decision to give a form of immunity to Clinton
lawyers Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson to obtain computers containing
emails related to the case.

“Laptops don’t go to the
Bureau of Prisons,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said. “The immunity was not for
the laptop, it was for Cheryl Mills.”

The FBI director repeated an
explanation he gave for the first time at a Senate hearing Tuesday, that the
deal to get the laptops was wise because subpoenaing computers from an attorney
would be complex and time consuming.”

“Anytime you know you’re subpoenaing
a laptop from a lawyer that involved a lawyer’s practice of law, you know
you’re getting into a big megillah,” Comey said.

Some twitter users applauded Gowdy and
mocked Comey’s testimony.

Gowdy just made a great point. How
could Comey ever prove intent if everyone who knew Hillary’s intent was given
immunity?

@davidharsanyi I can’t believe how Comey got upset because Gowdy lost faith
in the FBI. Wonder why that is…Duh?!

Gowdy spoke for many Americans when he
declared he has lost faith in the FBI.
